- After about two years from 9th
September 1976 to 30th July 1978, there were together 62
journeys made to the Underworld. Each visit was recorded
immediately through ‘sand
writing’ to reveal the
extreme sufferings and punishments in Hell. It was then compiled
into a book called ‘Journeys to the
Underworld’ and this book is not a religious book in
any sense. It does not belittle any religion but indeed it
encourages readers to continue practising religious beliefs of their
own choice.
-
- The original version was in
the Chinese language and in 1982 Mr Lee Teik Chong started to
translate it into English and it was completed in May 1985 for the
benefit of the English reading people. The editing was done by Mr
Tang Eng Teik, lecturer at the Chinese Studies Department,
University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
-
- The book is published for FREE
distribution and the journeys are real. It serves as a reminder to
us that never to make any serious mistake in life and how to live a
meaningful life. The descriptions are exactly the same as in the
teachings of Tao of Heaven and with due respect to the people who
had contributed to this book, I would like to include it, journey
by journey in my website so that the purpose of the Jade
Emperor is further disseminated through the internet for
the modern world.

- Master
JiGong in
the Temple of Tao of Heaven said,
-
- “The
ghostly jailers and the spiritual couriers
- Of
the Underworld
- Are
running around the four corners of the earth
- Here
they come
- Seizing
and arresting ten thousand evils
- Here
they come
- Cutting
off ten thousand loves and passions”
